     AMD's Ryzen 5 7600X CPU just dropped to its lowest price ever

Here's a great chance for you to snap up a fantastic gaming CPU for an astoundingly low price, as the cost of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X has now plummeted to its lowest ever level. This Amazon AMD Ryzen CPU deal enables you to save a huge 43% off the original MSRP of this Zen 4 processor, bringing the price right down from $299 to just $171.50.

There are several good reasons why this six-core AMD chip has a place on our guide to the best gaming CPU, but one of the prime ones is the sheer power of the Zen 4 processor architecture under the hood. As we found in our AMD Ryzen 5 7600X review, this CPU has no trouble keeping up with the latest games, and the 'X' on the end of its name means it runs at a higher clock speed than the (usually) cheaper Ryzen 5 7600.

     One easily missed FF14 Dawntrail quest is the best in the expansion

FF14 Dawntrail's new area, Tural, is a sprawling one, filled with many cultures, a variety of yummy foods, and plenty of sights to see. Hidden away on the docks of Tuliyollal, there is one small figure waiting among the busy markets of Tural, and they have sensed that there are hungry bellies throughout the land that begged to be filled. But, what accessible and variable food can be concocted to serve the needs of many people with just one ingredient? Cornservant has some ideas.

     The First Descendant codes July 2024

July 8, 2024: We checked for The First Descendant codes.

What are the new The First Descendant codes? The looter shooter is officially here, and though it's free to play, you'll still need to work hard for the best gear if you hope to survive the alien invasion.

Nexon's co-op RPG has plenty of The First Descendant characters, but you're going to need to jump through a lot of hoops to get them. That combined with getting the best weapons and gear, there's a lot to grind in The First Descendant, and though there are ways to get more The First Descendant Caliber, fortunately, it looks like codes are on the way.

The studio-killing fallout of Embracer's acquisition frenzy continues to fall like ash on the industry. The publishing giant has reportedly closed Piranha Bytes, the studio known for cult RPGs like Gothic, Risen, and Elex, according to a worker who spoke to Polish games site CD-Action. The studio's existence had been under threat since early this year, after being targeted in Embracer's purgatorial studio massacre. At that time the German studio were hopeful to avoid being closed down, insisting "don't write us off yet!" Unfortunately, it looks like those who worked at the studio have since been laid off.

I gaze with alarm and approval upon the recent phenomenon of "dark strategy" or "horror strategy" games, a devilish parade of top-down drag-clickers, from The Fabulous Fear Machine to The Tribe Must Survive, that strive to find the fear in a genre that typically places you at a managerial remove. The best-known is probably Frostpunk, with its perpetual raging against the dying of the light, its ceaseless scrape for coal and wood as the temperature falls. Anoxia Station, announced this month, is similarly driven by the gathering of fossil fuels, and similarly shaped by questions of worker death and morale, but it takes you deep underground - into a sumptuous, brutal world of quartz crystals, salt caves, magma lakes, moonmilk rivers, swirling gases and, judging from the below trailer, enormous maggots and centipedes. Larva lakes, amirite.
